you won't be impressed at how Megs soaps foam up in a foam gun. You should try DP Xtreme Foam Formula instead.

Megs GC is horrible at foaming.

DP extreme foam works best

Same here got my foam gun on monday but my truck is clean. They sent me a free sample of the DP extreme foam soap plus I got the ** Citrus soap so I will compare over the weekend. Quick question though after I foam the car up I let it sit for a while then spray it all off, then wash the car by hand?

Check out the Pinnacle videos (the chapter on washing) for some examples of how to use the foam gun.

Personally I don't let the soap sit too long (maybe a minute), you're spraying a concentrated amount of soap on the paint. It can and will start (if left too long) to break down you wax/sealant given enough time. I use my FG to basically wash of any sand/grit and let it start to break down crap on the paint. I do let it sit forever in the wheel wheels and (on mustangs) the black plastic gas tank cover that you can see in the back. If I was doing a complete break down and striping wax then sure let it sit and do it's thing.

I agree. I mostly do a presoak when I doing a full detail on a clients car. This would include clay and paint correction.
